I'm actually interested to see how this time will turn out for Tina! I'm thinking she had been out first before, won the game... I'm thinking this time she might do really well... but maybe not win this game.

I remember Australia was the first season I had ever, I was way back when I wasn't so interested in survivor and only watched that old seasons that were shown on tv. Now I'm so glad so see her back, because I can still remember her being my favourite in Australia!

1. Don't pick up the phone - You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone.2. Don't let him in - You have to kick him out again.3. Don't be his friend - You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning.And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him. ♥

Tina Wesson and Katie Collins wish to thank you all for your prayers and concerns over the loss of their beloved son and brother, Taylor Collins who died in an automobile accident on Tuesday. "We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support we are receiving during this time. To know we are thought of by so many certainly makes a difference" they said in a joint statement. In lieu of flowers, they request donations be sent to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for the Philippines www.redcross.org

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for them and their family during this difficult time.
